Chapter 092 Penalty
Update time: 2012-08-30
Zhang Yang dribbled the ball from the side and was about to transfer the ball to the right. He just swung his foot, but he was suddenly cut off the ball from behind by Marklele, which made him stagger and almost fell to the ground.
"I won this time." Marklele said to Zhang Yang in French.
Zhang Yang grinned and said nothing, but the battle in his eyes said everything. He hit Lampard, who had just received the pass from Marklele, and planned to counterattack the frontcourt.
Marklele looked at Zhang Yang's back, "What a good boy."
"What are you talking about?" Drogba, who once returned to midfield to assist in defense, asked.
"What do you think of that kid?"
"Who?" Drogba looked at the direction of Marklele's mouth, "It's a great boy. But I don't want to invite him to dinner."
"What did you say?" asked Marklele, but Drogba had already run away, so he naturally had no time to answer him.

"Wowowowowowow—Zhang Yang suddenly made a long shot about twenty-seven meters away from the goal! This shot is still of high quality and very sharp angle! Beautiful! Cech flew over and pushed the ball out of the crossbar! I believe that the loss of the ball in the first half also made Cech very alert. He is ready to guard against Zhang Yang's long shot at any time. Indeed, it is not just Cech, but Chelsea's defense must pay special attention. As a forward, Zhang Yang can shoot at any position, angle, and under any circumstances. This is a very comprehensive striker. No wonder so many giants are chasing this young man now."
Mourinho almost jumped up nervously just now. He saw Cech save Zhang Yang's long shot, and then the corner kick taken by Nasri, Morientes headed the ball higher. He was only a little relieved after the Marseille attack this time.
Although Marseille expected to launch an attack after the start of the second half, Mourinho found that he still underestimated the ability of this Ligue 1 team, and their offense was still quite threatening. If Cech hadn't performed well and Chelsea's defensive formation remained relatively complete, he would have conceded the ball long ago.
※※※※※※※※※※
As the game progressed, Chelsea withstood the attack of Marseille. The attack of Marseille became less and less threatening, and the players began to become a little impatient.
Mourinho can finally sit on the coaching table with his legs crossed his legs. He watched the development of the situation on the court with satisfaction. This is exactly what he expected. Marseille will strengthen the offense at the beginning of the second half. Chelsea did have some dangers during that period. However, after resisting the Marseille attack, the scene is not so passive. Chelsea's most threatening moment in the second half has passed. Next, it depends on whether his team can seize the offensive opportunity to score the third goal. Mourinho's goal for Chelsea's players on the court is to secure the victory and get the goal difference as much as possible. Reduce the possible risks of being the visiting Virrodham Stadium in the next round.
Mourinho was relatively calm, while his colleague Fernandez was pacing anxiously on the sidelines. He also glanced at the Chelsea coach's seat from time to time.
The game has been played for 65 minutes, and there is less than half an hour left. The Marseille team once had a tide of offense, but it was unable to score. Now, after the momentum of the offensive slowed down, it will be even more difficult to score a goal.
In addition, what made Fernandes afraid of is that Chelsea has not substituted the game until now. Mourinho seems to be very satisfied with the situation on the court and has no intention of making adjustments.
※※※※※※※※※※
Mourinho's confident performance made Fernandez feel a little nervous, and he had to be on guard. Look at the names of the players sitting on the Chelsea bench. Shepchenko, the super shooter who Chelsea spent more than 50 million euros to buy from AC Milan; Barack, the captain of the German national team, and one of the best midfielders in the world football world; Joe Kerr, the England international, the leader among English players; in addition, there is Wright Phillips, a fast horse.
There are so many offensive players on the bench, including superstars like Barack and Shepchenko who have the ability to change the game instantly, which makes Fernandez jealous and afraid. Now, Mourinho has not made a tactical substitution adjustment, so he dare not make any adjustments. He has to leave substitution quotas waiting for targeted arrangements for Chelsea's changes. At the beginning of the second half, Morientes replaced Yagioi this time. This has used one substitution quota, and the remaining two substitution quotas are left. Fernandez should be cautious. You should know that Mourinho is a veteran of "playing conspiracy" and is cunning.
Mourinho's "confident" appearance made Fernandez very afraid.
He rushed to the sidelines and shouted loudly to the players on the field: "Stay calm! Don't rush to press! There is still a lot of time! Don't rush."
Marseille heard Fernandez's instructions and reclaimed the formation and no longer rushed to attack. Chelsea's counterattacks just now had posed a great threat. If goalkeeper Carraso and young center back Luis had not performed well, Chelsea would have scored a goal.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Drogba broke into the penalty area and fell to the ground after contacting Marseille defensive player Beyer.
"Fake a fall!" Marseille fans jumped up and shouted.
Chelsea fans immediately responded loudly:
"Punishment!"
"Maasai, go fucking die!!"
Seeing the referee blew his whistle and running into the penalty area, Zhang Yang and other Marseille players were shocked.
Sure enough, the Swedish referee Hans on duty showed Beye a yellow card and pointed to the penalty spot.
Penalty!
"Referee, that guy pretended to fall, we didn't touch him."
"Yes, referee, that guy often did this when he was in Ligue 1."
"Who the hell do you say does this often?" Drogba was sitting on the ground, but when he heard Ribery say this, he jumped up.
"Hehe, how do you talk?"
"Referee, the Marseille is provoking your authority." A Chelsea player said in an uproar.
※※※※※※※※※※
The scene was a bit messy.
The referee's forehead was a black line, and he kept whistling, calling Drogba and Ribery aside, warning him violently. Then, he ignored the protests of the Marseille players and pointed to the penalty spot, maintaining the original judgment - penalty!
"It's so fucking!" Fernandez was furious on the sidelines. Unexpectedly, his swearing attracted the attention of the fourth official.
"Marseille head coach, please pay attention to your words."
"Please pay attention to my words, why the fuck you don't let the referee pay attention to his punishment."
Yellow card!
The fourth official had a dark face and took out a yellow card and lit up at Fernandez.
What else would Fernandez say when he was angry? Marseille assistant coach Hiltney quickly came up and pulled him away. If this continued, it would be strange if the Marseille head coach gentleman was not sent off.
"Mr. Fernandez is so excited," said a French reporter in the media seat. "He is usually quite rational."
"This is not forced by the situation on the court. Chelsea won this penalty. If the penalty kick was scored, Marseille would be behind one-three, and would be behind one-three at Stamford Bridge. Even if he returned to home, it would be almost impossible for Marseille to turn the tables."
"Hey, no matter what, fortunately, Zhang Yang scored a goal and returned to home court, Marseille would just win Chelsea 2-0." A Marseille reporter said. In fact, when he said this, he didn't believe it. When he returned to home court, he won 2-0. Marseille scored two goals and still had to count on Chelsea's strong attack line to not score? This was unless it was a miracle! But, why is miracles called miracles is not that easy!
※※※※※※※※※※
Fernandez left here, and Mourinho jumped up excitedly! The coach never concealed his emotions. When he saw the referee awarding Marseille player Beer a yellow card and awarding Chelsea a penalty, Mourinho excitedly celebrating and shouted, "Oye!"
Then, Mourinho looked at Lampard, who was standing at the penalty spot nervously.
Zhang Yang stood near the middle circle. His plan was that once the penalty kick could be saved, the Marseille team could make a quick counterattack. Although the possibility of being saved and being saved was too low, as a shooter, he must always be prepared for this.
However, Zhang Yang's preparation was not useful. Lampard's penalty kick angle was very tricky and fast. Although Marseille goalkeeper Carraso judged the right direction, he still couldn't save the ball!
In the 75th minute of the game, Drogba created a penalty for Chelsea and Lampard scored a penalty.
Chelsea leads Marseille 3:1 at home.
※※※※※※※※※※
"gooooooooooooooooooaaaal! Lampard, he will score the penalty! This is Lampard's second goal in today's game! Chelsea also leads Marseille three-to-one. Mourinho's team expands the score advantage to two goals."
"Three to one! Lampard secured the victory for Chelsea! The key to the question now is whether they can continue to score goals to get enough goal difference."
"Zhang Yang once helped Marseille equalize the score, but the gap between the strength of the two teams is too big. He is still alone."
"Even if the score ends in three to one, it will be difficult for Marseille to turn the tables in the next leg. Mourinho's team has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League with one foot."
The commentators were all giving Lampard a praise, and at the same time, they even sentenced the Marseille team to death in advance.
At the same time, the scene of Drogba falling to the ground in the penalty area was repeatedly played during the TV broadcast, but it was still impossible to determine whether Drogba had a fake fall. Beye stretched out his foot to intercept the ball, and his right leg seemed to have retracted when he was in contact with Drogba. At the same time, Drogba fell to the ground. Except for the two parties involved, no one knew whether Beye had tripped Drogba.
"Drogba must have been a fake fall. He has had such a precedent for a long time. He likes to perform." Marseille's commentator said angrily.
"This is a penalty kick without a doubt. Drogba should not be blamed, he did not fake a fall." The London commentator announced loudly.
No matter how the two sides argue, it cannot change a fact. The referee awarded Chelsea a penalty, Lampard scored a penalty, and Chelsea is now leading Marseille three-to-one!
